Description

Written by the American canoe Association and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Introduction to Paddling is an easy-to-understand guide to flatwater and river paddling. Based on an earlier work by the Ohio DNR, Flat- water Paddler, this amply illustrated book tells beginning paddlers everything they need to know, from appropriate clothing to the parts of the boat, from correct strokes to proper safety concerns. Good for instructors and those who like to teach themselves, this book is an important resource for those who like to paddle or want to start. Read more

  • Love this concise book on paddling
Format: Paperback
This is a concise, but well-done book on paddling. It includes both basic and some more difficult paddling strokes. It includes other aspects of paddling, such as car-topping. I bought 12 of them, to give to my summer camp canoeists.

  • Great!
Format: Paperback
Basic guide. Not very long. Good illustrations. I am hoping to get a canoe and this is a good start. I'm impressed with the detail in this short book.

  • Good first manual for novice recreational paddlers
Format: Paperback
The American Canoe Association's Introduction to Paddling, canoeing basics for lakes and rivers, is a short and clear introduction to canoeing. It describes the canoe and related equipment, how to use same, and several cautionary thoughts. The strokes described are few and clear, and river maneuvers and safety considerations are clearly laid out. A fine introductory handbook for any novice canoeist, and probably all that is needed for thye casual paddler ... show more

  • Paddling
Format: Paperback
I am giving this book to a young fellow interested in kayaking and canoeing.

  • All I got was the questions from each chapter with no content.
Format: Paperback
I'm not sure what happened here. There is no content, just questions that look to be about each unit. Maybe it's meant to be a supplement to the actual book to photocopy for class tests, but it's basically useless as a source of information on canoeing.

  • Book titled Intro to Paddling was actually Religious material on the inside.
Format: Paperback
The media could not be loaded. The book is titled Introduction to Paddling and I need it to teach a class. Inside the book is religious material and worksheets.
